Copy Compare Permissions

Use this section to specify the copy and compare options available.

Field or Control Description

  • No Access: User can not copy or compare the data set.

  • Read-Only: User can compare the data set.

Allow setting Copy Compare attributes on data set definitions

The user can set the copy and compare options on the data set definition.

This privilege should only be given to architects with a thorough knowledge of the data set definition and its associated data content who would certify data set definitions to be copyable and comparable. A flawed data set definition could corrupt a data base. A partial list of considerations for the architect includes the following items to assess:

  • The validation rules expressed in the application class must be accurate and complete.

  • Records in the data set should represent a tightly coupled set of data.

  • Copying the data set must preserve dependency relationships.

  • No orphan rows should be created in copy or delete.

  • Consideration should be made of validation dependencies: if a dependent object is being copied from the source, it must be copied before the objects that depends on it.
